Arthur Murray Dance Studios

4 months ago, I had NO IDEA how to dance. I was the epitome of "step touch" and concentrating hard to not be "up on the down beat"...now, after 3 months of lessons...I have had what I would honestly consider to be my favorite night out ever. My wife (Natalie) and I met with some friends for our friend's birthday, and Natalie and I got to test our dance moves in the real world!We walked onto an empty dance floor and proceeded to ROCK THE HELL OUT OF IT!We danced for almost 3 hours, only taking breaks because Natalie wore "cute shoes", but otherwise we were throwing down.Natalie commented that I had "swagger and hips", and it made her feel like the luckiest girl in the world. When we were leaving a random stranger stopped us in the parking lot and said "You two are such good dancers and are an inspiration..." ....WTF?!I felt fearless and powerful, trained and ready. We successfully danced 5 different dance styles (Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa, Hustle, Nightclub 2 Step) and made every single one look amazing. I was even able to count us in (something I struggle with every lesson) on most songs, and I got us back on the beat when we lost it for whatever reason...I was in control, and it was amazing!I'm not saying we were perfect dancers....but we did have a perfect night.Thanks Arthur Murray Livermore for everything, apparently my hips DO move!

This place was horrible I'll never be back! I wasn't happy with my instructor or my class. Honestly it was to expensive $$

The instructors are very experienced and can help you meet your goals. They are a fun group that will help you fine tune, learn from scratch and or prep for a special event or just work on your confidence. Pricey but worth it.

My fiance (now husband) and I were interested in dance lessons for our wedding - we went in for our first complimentary lesson, and to be honest, I wouldn't really call it a lesson. It's more of a get-to-know-you session. Regardless, we signed up for a 10 class package - not cheap, but nothing is these days. And it was really important for both of us to feel comfortable dancing together before our wedding. Melissandra was our instructor, and we both really liked her energy. She and Joey, the manager, both seemed to genuinely care if we were happy with our lessons and the routine that we were working on. By the time we had completed our lessons, we knew most of the staff, and it was like seeing friends each time we went in.Anyway, fast forward to wedding day, and our first dance was a huge hit with our guests! We both felt nervous, even though we had practiced it countless times. We did a quick run through during cocktail hour while our guests were still outside, and as soon as it was over, we high fived and danced the night away with our guests...exactly as it should have been!My only complaint would be that we often felt a little pressured by the front desk - if we couldn't schedule our next lesson right away, we got asked on multiple occasions "why not?" and "well, can you move that?"...honestly that was the biggest turn off. My husband's work schedule is super unpredictable, and he just felt very defensive when that happened - I think I was sensitive to it because he was already doing something that I know he wasn't a huge fan of.We've been offered the opportunity to return, and I think we would both like to at some point in the future. But right now, we are on the post-wedding budget, which will not allow for expensive dance lessons.I think that Arthur Murray is a great place to try something new and have a lot of fun doing it!

We showed up here to take couple of classes for our wedding and we ended up having so much fun. Our instructor Christian was amazing. This is was our very first time going to a dance classes together and they put together a complete dance routine for us in a short time and it came out great. Thank You Christian.

I was so excited to return to dancing, had a wonderful first experience with the young man whom did such a wonderful job with the Free Dance Lesson. As the 1 hr, lesson was consumed, The Front office girls Simone and Brittney, were very superficial. They were so nice at first, kind. As we discussed their outrageous prices. I decided on my 1 hr drive home. That I could not spend close to $600 a month for a passion of mine. Since I do know how to dance, just wanted to have something to enjoy while Learning a few new techniques. I felt in my core, that if you really have a passion for something as so, should not make you feel like your being forced to purchase. I right away let Simone know that I could not live with myself if I knew I spent that kind of money, hence we were only in Feb., my inner intuition told me that there was no way I should do that. For one, it's more than my car payment., #2 I could be giving that money to my elderly parents whom really need it, & # 3..... Coronavirus, now they want to teach you virtually.... besides the point.... back to my story.... I texted Simone to let her know I did not feel comfortable and wanted to decline, and would like my refund back of a whole $50.00. May seem like nothing for some, but I felt I have every right to have my refund back, because it was just to hold "my Spot" Simone said. So I feel that they have been ignoring me and my emails, texts. I received an email from the Owner Chris. Just first response in late April to this situation since Feb., he said his staff is not working. So then I receive a direct email e-vites and text messages, regarding their Virtual classes and yet again NO RESOLUTION FOR MY REFUND!!! Totally wrong in every way!!! Deception everywhere!! Horrible Fake Customer Service!!!!! *2 months later and chris emailed me right after this review and said he would personally take care of it. And nothing! Horrible owner! Sad sad sad.

My husband and myself took several lessons from Brigette at the Livermore Arthur Murray for a choreographed first dance at our wedding. The lessons were a little pricey but Brigette was very patient with us and made sure we had a beautiful dance and we had it down.I would recommend this place! I loved how our dance turned out.

I have had a fantastic experience learning to dance at Arthur Murray. I have gained poise, confidence, and skill in all the basic dances and then some. The teachers are so easy to learn from, and make each lesson a fun experience. I have really enjoyed the social atmosphere as well, the other students are low-key, encouraging, and enthusiastic. I have attended group lessons, parties, many private lessons, district showcase events and participated in a group formation routine. Each of these elements play a different part in my developing skill as a dancer, and each has been fun, challenging, and fulfilling to me. I am so glad I found this studio and that this is all available to me here in Livermore. Bravo!

My wife and I had an ok experience overall. Our instructor Josh was top notch and made us feel comfortable and taught us a lot of great things. I think management/Renee and unfortunately circumstances left a bad impression

Highly recommend Arthur Murray Dance Studio! Gedalia was an amazing instructor. She helped my fiancé and I prepare for our first dance. It went perfectly all thanks to her!
